Soc, I have a friend who is unable to register and she has asked me to pose this question:
Child concieved in Arkansas, born in Oklahoma, and parents divorce is in Arkansas.
Father brought custody case and mother is attempting to have this case dismissed on grounds that he filed in the wrong state, since child was born in Oklahoma
1) Where is the correct jurisdiction in the situation?

The fact that the child was conceived in AR is sufficient for jurisdiction to attach therein.
